A Place to Call Home

In which I finally move my blog to my very own domain carloseriksson.com and begin the arduous process of designing this new website of mine.

Welcome to the new website. It’s not much of a looker yet, heck, I haven’t even gotten smart quotes to work yet. But I will, because these programmers quotes annoys the shit out of me.

Give it a little time and elbow grease and I’ll get this heap to look like something one could call a home. I hope you don’t mind the mess in the meantime, sometimes one just has to live in a bit of a mess to better understand what one wants from one’s lifewebsite.
